    I have no interest in HP whatsoever so don't have a clue what anyone is talking about!

    My BIL's girlfriend is in labour as we speak. She went into the hospital at midnight last night. She is 9 days overdue today. Can't wait to hear the good news! They know it is a boy so I wonder if it will look like Max. Max looks like his other cousin (in baby photos!).

    My cousin's wife had a baby boy on Monday night and she had a great labour. Contractions got painful at 8.20pm and he was born at 9.10pm. They named him Bobby, after our great uncle. I love the name :)

    Ooh do it Tete, I really enjoyed reading it in French, some of the sayings are so funny! Hagrid tells Vernon he'll turn him into pate! Oliver Wood is renamed Olivier DuBois! :D

    And Dinah, we can't have figured out Avada Kedavra in the first book as it isn't mentioned by name until the 4th! ;) Now there's me really showing my true geekiness!

    OH is extremely pleased with himself, he bought the latest HP Xbox game, you can play little time challenges and there's a World Leaderboard, he's top in the enitre world for killing Voldemort! He was really disappointed that I didn't make more of a fuss, apparently being World Champion is a Big Deal! :)

    ETA: What lovely double baby news CMD! :D

    Lovely news CMD,I think Max looks like your OH but with your massive blue eyes, such a cutie!

    I thought Avada Kedavra was a bit dark for the first book but will bow to your supreme geekiness Birdie. What's the third unforgivable curse after that and the Cruciatus?

    I think that's good of your OH to be top in the world ... but it's a pretty new game isn't it? He can only be beaten from this point on :o

    I pointed that out too, apparently it wasn't the correct thing to say! He can't really be beaten though as he's got a time of 0 seconds as time gets knocked off for accuracy (not really sure how it works!) so technically no-one can realyl beat him, they can just join him on top. He's already said he'll complain if the leaderboard is in alphabetical order so he doesn't stay on top forever! :rotfl:

    Third unforgivable curse is the Imperius Curse... didn't even have to think about it, I'm such a geek! :D

    Imperius is the one where you're being controlled. Petrificus totallus is the one where you can't move. :)
